The '''Nintendo eShop''' is an online service for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], [[Wii U]], and [[Nintendo Switch]] that sells games, including classic emulated games (for play via the [[3DS Virtual Console]] and [[Wii U Virtual Console]]), as well as providing access to game trailers, other video content, and demos for select games. DSiWare is also available for the Nintendo 3DS, with a few exceptions. Purchases are made with money instead of the points system used on the [[Wii]] and [[Nintendo DSi]]. | |||
